LEGISLATION CREATING THE NATIONAL STATUARY 
HALL IN THE CAPITOL. 



In the House of Representatives, on January 6, 1864, Mr. 
Morrill, of Vermont, submitted the following resolution, which 
was read, considered, and agreed to viz (House Journal, 38th 
Cong., ist sess., p. 108) : 

Resolved, That the Committee on Public Buildings be re- 
quested to examine and report as to the expediency of setting 
apart the old Hall of the House of Representatives as a hall 
for statuary; and also as to the cost of a new flooring and 
bronze railing on each side of the passageway through the 
hall, preparatory to the reception of such works of arts. 
On April 19, 1864, Mr. Rice, of Maine, from the Committee on 
Public Buildings and Grounds, reported the following joint 
resolution (38th Cong., ist sess., H. R. 66) : 

JOINT RESOLUTION Setting apart the old Hall of the House of Repre- 
sentatives as a hall of statuary. 

Whereas the old Hall of the House of Representatives being 
now worse than uselessly occupied as a place of storage and 
traffic, and as it must of necessity remain a thoroughfare be- 
tween the two wings of the Capitol: Therefore 

Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled, That the 
President be, and he is hereby, authorized to invite each and all 
the States to provide and furnish statues in marble or bronze, 
not exceeding two in number for each State, of men who 
have been citizens thereof and illustrious for their historic 
renown or from distinguished civic or military services, such 
as each State shall determine to be worthy of this national

commemoration; and that they be placed in the old Hall 
of the House of Representatives, in the Capitol of the 
United States, which is hereby set apart, or so much thereof 
as may be necessary, as a national statuary hall, for the pur- 
poses herein indicated, and the same shall be under the care 
and supervision of the Commissioner of Public Buildings. 

Sec. 2. And he it further enacted, That a marble floor, 
similar to that of the Congressional Library or the Senate 
vestibule, shall be constructed in said old Hall of the House 
of Representatives, using such marble as may be now on 
hand and not otherwise required, and that suitable struc- 
tures and railings shall be therein erected for the reception 
and protection of statuary, and the same shall be under the 
supervision and direction of the Commissioner of Public 
Buildings; and so much of the moneys now or hereafter 
appropriated for the Capitol extension as may be necessary, 
not exceeding the sum of twenty -four thousand dollars, is 
hereby set apart and shall be disbursed for the purposes 
hereinbefore mentioned. 
The joint resolution was considered, debated, and passed the 
House. The proceedings of the House on this occasion are given 
below (House of Representatives, Apr. 19, 1864. Cong. Globe, 
38th Cong., ist sess., pt. 2, pp. 1736 and 1737): 

Mr. Rice, of Maine, by unanimous consent, from the Com- 
mittee on Public Buildings and Grounds, reported a joint 
resolution setting apart the old Hall of the House of Rep- 
resentatives as a Hall of Statuary; which was read a first 
and second time. 

The joint resolution was read. It provides that inasmuch 
as the old Hall of the House of Representatives is now worse 
than uselessly occupied, and must remain a thoroughfare 
between the two wings of the Capitol, that the President 
be authorized to invite each of the States to provide and 
furnish statues in marble or bronze, not exceeding two in

number each, of men who have been citizens thereof, illus- 
trious in their historical renown or distinguished for their 
civic or mihtary services, such as each State shall determine 
are worthy of national remembrance; and that the said 
Hall be set apart for the reception of such statuary. The 
resolution also sets apart $24,000 of the funds which have 
been, or shall hereafter be, appropriated for the Capitol 
extension, to be used in fitting up the Hall for that purpose. 

Mr. Rice, of Maine. I send a letter to the Clerk's desk, 
and ask that it may be read. 

The Clerk read the letter, as follows : 

"Architect's Office, United States Capitol, 

''Washington, D. C, January jj, 1864. 
"Sir: I have estimated the cost of taking up the present 
floor of the old Hall of Representatives, removing the flag- 
stone pavement, laying a new floor, like that of the Congres- 
sional lyibrary or of the Senate vestibule, and the putting up 
of an iron railing 6 feet high to form a passage through the 
Hall, and I find that these improvements will amount to 
$24,000. 

"The resolution provides for a 'bronze railing.' I suppose, 
however, that an iron railing, painted in imitation of bronze, 
is intended, and I have so estimated it. Such a railing, com- 
posed of bronze, at the present price of copper, would cost 
about $5,000 more than it would if made of iron as suggested. 
"Very respectfully, your obedient servant, 

"Thomas U. Walter, 
"Architect United States Capitol Extension, etc. 
"Hon. John H. Rice, 

''Chairman of Committee on 

"Public Buildings and Grounds." 
Mr. HoLMAN. I rise to a question of order. I understand 
that resolution to make an appropriation, and that it must 
therefore go to the Committee of the Whole. 



The National Statuary Hall 

Mr. Rice, of Maine. The resolution makes no appropria- 
tion, but merely provides how a portion of an appropriation 
already made shall be used. 

The Speaker. The Chair so understands it, and therefore 
overrules the question of order. 

Mr. MoRRii.iv. Mr. Speaker, as I had the honor to intro- 
duce this proposition, I desire to occupy the attention of the 
House for a moment. The expansion of our country from 
the old thirteen to thirty-six States imposed upon us the 
burden as well as the privilege of building and extending a 
structure for the accommodation of the legislative branches 
of the Government and appropriate for the Capitol of the 
foremost RepubHc of the world. This work is now approach- 
ing completion. Even a war waged by rebels for the de- 
struction of the Government has not retarded its progress for 
a single day. The old Senate Chamber has been already 
fittingly devoted to the use of the Supreme Court. The old 
Hall of the House of Representatives, empty and deserted, 
remains an unappropriated waste, and, as it now appears — 
draped in cobwebs and carpeted with dust, tobacco, and 
apple pomace — a conspicuous nuisance. 

Congress is the guardian of this fine old Hall, surpassing in 
beauty all the rooms of this vast pile, and should protect it 
from desecration. Its noble columns from a quarry exhausted 
and incapable of reproduction. 

Nature formed but one, 

And broke the dye in molding — 

its democratic simplicity and grandeur of style ; and its wealth 
of association with many earnest and eloquent chapters in the 
history of our country, deserve perpetuity at the hands of an 
American Congress. It was here that many of our most dis- 
tinguished men, whose fame "the world will not wilHngly let 
die," began or ended their career. 

It appears to me eminently proper, therefore, that this 
House should take the initiative in setting apart with reverent 

8 



The National Statuary Hall 



affection the Hall, so charged with precious memories, to some 
purpose of usefulness and dignity. To what end more useful 
or grand, and at the same time simple and inexpensive, can 
we devote it than to ordain that it shall be set apart for the 
reception of such statuary as each State shall elect to be de- 
serving of this lasting commemoration? Will not all the 
States with generous emulation proudly respond, and thus 
furnish a new evidence that the Union will clasp and hold 
forever all its jewels — the glories of the past, civil, military, 
and judicial — in one hallowed spot where those who will be 
here to aid in carrying on the Government may daily receive 
fresh inspirations and new incentives — 

To scorn delights and live laborious days — 

and where pilgrims from all parts of the Union, as well as from 
foreign lands, may come and behold a gallery filled with such 
American manhood as succeeding generations will delight to 
honor, and see also the actual form and mold of those who 
have inerasably fixed their names on the pages of history. 

The suffrages of no State will fail to be honestly and fairly 
bestowed, for no local shams will be intruded where the judg- 
ment of the world is sure to be challenged, and where partisan- 
ship loses its current value. We may reasonably expect that 
the state contributions, without charge to the National Gov- 
ernment, will speedily furnish here in the Capitol of the 
nation a collection of statuary that will reflect honor upon 
the illustrious dead, upon the republic found to be neither 
ungrateful to its distinguished sons nor unmindful of its obh- 
gations; and incidentally, it may be hoped, there will be 
brought forth worthy monuments to the genius of the artists 
of the country who will vie with each other for distinction in 
the execution of the various works which may be required. 

The extension of the Capitol has added so much space to 
existing accommodations that the old Hall is not required 
as a warehouse or for committee rooms, and it is impossible 

9

The National Statuary Hall 

to divide and distribute it, if it were so required, in any 
manner that will be satisfactory, or that will not disclose an 
awkward, ill-begotten, ill-born, second-handed purpose, while 
if it shall be left whole and unmutilated as it now is, and only 
decorated, as now proposed, with works of art, it will appear 
as imposing and perfect as though the idea sprung from the 
brain of the architect at the foundation of the Capitol. 

The proposition now before us is approved of by the Super- 
intendent of Public Buildings (Mr. French), and also, after 
thorough scrutiny of all other plans, by the present accom- 
plished architect of the Capitol extension (Mr. Walter). I 
have yet to hear the first objection to the proposition. All 
the work required at present is a new floor and a suitable 
bronze or iron railing for the passageway. At some future 
period the gallery may have to be removed, but, as it was an 
excrescence at the start, or an after thought, not put up 
until the Hall had been completed, there will be no obstacle 
to its removal or its remodeling, as future convenience may 
require. 

Before the Hall can have a suitable Hght for statuary 
a new roof with more light w^ill be necessary; but as the 
present roof is a wooden one, constructed almost entirely of 
combustible material, already decaying, a new fireproof 
roof will doubtless ere long be required, whatever may be 
done wdth the Hall. This can, however, be postponed as 
long as it may be wise or safe to do so, and until the proper 
time, and then the cost will be no greater to have it adapted 
to the object now proposed than to any other. 

We have a large amount of excellent marble of various 
descriptions lying about, not required for the completion of 
the Capitol, and therefore otherwise useless, which can be 
used for the floor at this time at less expense than it will 
ever again be possible to obtain it, and, besides, we have 
the machinery now ready to cut and finish it, provided it 
shall be so determined. 



The National Statuary Hall 

I understand, also, that it has been proposed to remove the 
high bronze raiUng now in the Hbrary for a small-sized rail- 
ing, and if so, and it should be found appropriate, as I do not 
think it will be, that might be taken to serve as a railing for 
the central passage proposed through the Hall. Under any 
circumstances, whether the new materials or those on hand 
shall be found most available, the expense can not be large, 
and hardly more than or different from what a prudent 
proprietor would expend for the mere preservation of the 
premises. 

While the times demand of us the sternest economy, I know 
of no object to which so small a sum can be devoted with 
purer or more exalted motives, and none more likely to be 
cordially greeted by the patriotic heart of the nation. 

But it is not proposed to add a dollar to our appropriations 
It is merely proposed to set apart a small portion of the funds 
($500,000 recently voted by the House) for the completion 
of the Capitol, and the whole object will be accomplished. 
That fund is very large, and I think no one will object to the 
disposal of so small a portion of it in the manner indicated. 

Mr. Rice, of Maine. I did design to make some remarks 
upon this joint resolution; but as the morning hour is just 
expired, and as I am desirous of disposing of the matter 
this evening, I will not take up the time of the House, but 
demand the previous question on the engrossment of the 
joint resolution. 

The previous question was seconded, and the main question 
ordered to be put. 

The joint resolution was ordered to be engrossed and read 
a third time; and being engrossed, it was accordingly read the 
third time and passed — ayes 87, noes 20. 

Mr. Rice, of Maine, moved to reconsider the vote by which 
the joint resolution was passed, and also moved to lay the 
motion to reconsider on the table. 

The latter motion was agreed to. 



The National Statuary Hall 

In the Senate the joint resolution was referred, on April 20, 
1864, to the Committee on Public Buildings and Grounds. 

On April 25, 1864, Mr. Foot, of Vermont, "from the Committee 
on Public Buildings and Grounds, to whom was referred the joint 
resolution (H. J. Res. 66) setting apart the old Hall of the House of 
Representatives as a hall of statuary, reported it without amend- 
ment, and that it ought not to pass." (Journal of the Senate, 
38th Cong., I St sess., p. 366.) 

In the House of Representatives, on June 20, 1864 (Cong 
Globe, 38th Cong., ist sess., pt. 4, pp. 3106-3107), while the sundry 
civil appropriation bill was under consideration, Mr. Stevens, of 
Pennsylvania, offered an amendment similar to the joint resolution 
(H. J. Res. 66) passed by the House, except that the amount was 
reduced to $20,000, and the two sections were transposed. This 
amendment was debated by Mr. Stevens; Mr. Rice, of Maine; 
Mr. Price, of Iowa; Mr. Mallory, of Kentucky; Mr. Morrill, of 
Vermont; Mr. Steele, of New York; and Mr. Schenck, of Ohio; 
was amended to apply only to statues of "deceased persons," 
and as amended was agreed to. 

The provision of the House of Representatives was stricken out 
when the sundry civil appropriation bill was considered in the 
Senate. (Cong. Globe, June 24, 1864, 38th Cong., ist sess., pt. 4, 
P- 3225.) 

In conference committee the provision of the House of Repre- 
sentatives was restored, with an amendment reducing the amount 
carried to $15,000, and in that form became law, as follows (Stat. 
L., vol. 13, p. 347): 

******* 

Sec. 2. And be it further enacted, That a marble floor, 
similar to that of the Congressional Library or the Senate 
vestibule, shall be constructed in the old Hall of the House 



The National Statuary Hall 

of Representatives, using such marble as may be now on 
hand and not otherwise required, and that suitable structures 
and raiUngs shall be therein erected for the reception and 
protection of statuary, and the same shall be under the 
supervision and direction of the Commissioner of PubUc 
Buildings; and so much of the moneys now or heretofore 
appropriated for the Capitol extension as may be necessary, 
not exceeding the sum of fifteen thousand dollars, is hereb\- 
set apart and shall be disbursed for the purposes hereinbefore 
mentioned. And the President is hereby authorized to invite 
each and all the States to provide and furnish statues, in 
marble or bronze, not exceeding two in number for each 
State, of deceased persons who have been citizens thereof, 
and illustrious for their historic renown or from distin- 
guished civic or military services, such as each State shall 
determine to be worthy of this national commemoration ; and 
when so furnished the same shall be placed in the old Hall 
of the House of Representatives, in the Capitol of the United 
States, which is hereby set apart, or so much thereof as may 
be necessary, as a national statuary hall for the purposes 
herein indicated. 

Approved July 2, 1864. 

The law for the estabhshment of a national statuary hall, as 
it appears in the Revised Statutes of the United vStates, second 
edition, 1878, page 321, is as follows: 

Sec. 18 14. Suitable structures and railings shall be erected 
in the old Hall of Representatives for the reception and pro- 
tection of statuary, and the same shall be under the supervi- 
sion and direction of the Chief of Engineers in charge of public 
public buildings and grounds. And the President is author- 
ized to invite all the States to provide and furnish statues, 
in marble or bronze, not exceeding two in number for each 
State, of deceased persons who have been citizens thereof, 
and illustrious for their historic renown or for distinguished

The National Statuary Hall 

civic or military services, such as each State may deem to be 
worthy of this national commemoration; and when so fur- 
nished the same shall be placed in the old Hall of the House of 
Representatives, in the Capitol of the United States, which 
is set apart, or so much thereof as may be necessary, as a 
national statuary hall for the purpose herein indicated. 

The following section of the legislative appropriation act of 
August 15, 1876 (Stat. L., vol. 19, p. 147), transferred to the Archi- 
tect of the Capitol all the duties relative to the Capitol Building 
previously performed by the Commissioner of Public Buildings 
and Grounds: 

That the Architect of the Capitol shall have the care and 
superintendence of the Capitol, including lighting, and shall 
submit through the Secretary of the Interior estimates thereof: 
And provided further, That all the duties relative to the Capi- 
tol Building heretofore performed by the Commissioner of 
Public Buildings and Grounds, shall hereafter be performed 
by the Architect of the Capitol, whose office shall be in the 
Capitol Building. 
The urgent deficiency act of February 14, 1902 (Stat. L., vol. 32, 
p. 20), in the following provision, changed the designation of the 
office of Architect of the Capitol to Superintendent of the Capitol 
Building and Grounds : 

Hereafter the office of Architect of the Capitol shall be desig- 
nated as Superintendent of the Capitol Building and Grounds, 
and the Superintendent of the Capitol Building and Grounds 
shall hereafter exercise all the power and authority heretofore 
exercised by the Architect of the Capitol, and he shall be 
appointed by the President : Provided, That no change in the 
architectural features of the Capitol Building or in the land- 
scape features oi the Capitol Grounds shall be made except on 
plans to be approved by Congress.
